Also, you can use them as normal cookers, and they are almost less expensive than good quality normal cookers. Definitively worth the money. Like the title says, I found this pressure cooker to be just perfect. I have a 4 qt and a 8 qt one, they are both presto, same model, and I could not say one single bad thing about these cookers.
Browned it in the pot, added the liquid, some onion and one of those pot roast seasoning packets from the store, brought it up to pressure, and 45 minutes later it was done. I'll sheepishly admit it was even better than my grandma used to make and she made a roast every Sunday for 40+ years.
You'd never know they weren't cooked all day in a slow-cooker. Once the meat was done I removed it and added some cut up carrots and potatoes and they cooked in less than five minutes.
I'm a complete pressure-cooking novice, never owned one or cooked with one until I bought this. Fall-apart tender, absolutely perfect.
I told myself that if I really liked pressure-cooking that I'd eventually upgrade to a more expensive one but I like this one so much I don't see that happening any time soon. First day I had it I decided to make the pot roast per the instructions in the booklet.
I have made roasts in the slow-cooker and my oven before, and never ever have they been as good as the one from the pressure cooker.
I only wish that pressure cooker design deeper instead of wide. The pressure cooker is working fine after use it for 3 times.
It has meat, poultry, fish, soup and veggie sections. All the parts you need to start cooking are here. There is a small cookbook which is great as a starter cookbook for pressure cooking. This is a well made pressure cooker that is easy to use right out of the box. I am very pleased with my purchase. The cookers is large enough to accomodate a good sized roast (chuck, pork and corned beef are my favorites). I'm a big fan of pressure cooking - saves time and food tastes great. Cleans easily and seals very well.
I can't believe I waited so long to own one. This is a great pot.
